We survived and all are alive!

Daddy is back and all is well. I was alone just for one week (thanks dad for the other two weeks) and was hugely blessed with only a few moments of wanting to pull my hair out. I called home only once to get comfort while my third colicky baby screamed in the background. But we survived and no one got hurt. I can't say much really about Joseph's experience at SERE, but it was not a pleasant experience. Glad I never will go through anything like it. He only lost a few pounds but he is terribly skinny. Yesterday he was able to take paternity leave which will give us both a chance to help each other get the rest we need. The boys were so happy when he came home. They wouldn't stop wrestling and jumping on him. They used up any energy he had left within 10 minutes. I am so grateful for his help at home. Joseph has a personal furnace and is always hot. This has been so helpful with Evelyn. She will rest peacefully in his arms while in mine she just screams. He also reminded me about the fact the swing will help and put his leftover batteries in it. That also has been a huge help. We are so glad he is home!
